The 5 Most Exciting Cars Headed to Auction at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este
While it's commonly held that the collector-car microcosm revolves around Northern California's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, another exhibition has comparable gravitational pull when it comes to attracting the finest automobiles in the world: the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The latter, founded in 1929 at its namesake hotel flanking Italy's Lake Como, differs from its stateside counterpart in that it displays no more than 50 rarefied examples of the most prestigious classic models—and to a limited number of cognoscenti. This year, the four-wheel fete (running May 23 through 25) has brought Broad Arrow Auctions into its orbit for a two-day sale. 'Villa d'Este is the grandest of Concours d'Elegance and the oldest,' says Simon Kidston, renowned Geneva-based collector, market analyst, and purveyor of classic cars. 'Broad Arrow are the new kids on the auction block, so I think it's a cocktail which should produce some fireworks.' Here, his insights on five stellar lots—each promising its own moment of spectacle. More from Robb Report Two Former 'American Idol' Producers Are Auctioning Off Their 160-Acre Paso Robles Vineyard Estate This One-of-a-Kind Porsche Could Fetch Up to $1.7 Million at Auction Prime Living, Perfectly Presented: A London Square Showcase Best of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article. One of the first two Prancing Horses ever sold by Enzo Ferrari, this 166 Spyder Corsa—chassis No. 004 C—was originally purchased in 1948 by Soave Besana (his brother Gabriele got the other). Bodied by Carrozzeria Ansaloni and born to race, the roadster took sixth place at that year's Targa Florio, competed in consecutive Mille Miglia endurance contests, and was campaigned in numerous other motorsport events. Retaining its original body, engine, and gearbox, it's touted by the auction house as 'quite possibly the most original early Ferrari extant,' which easily explains its class win at the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. 'The origin of the species, but not what the younger generation of collectors think when they hear 'Ferrari,' ' says Kidston. 'They should be worth more than they are: This will need someone small of stature but big of wallet,' he says of the diminutive car, which is being auctioned for the first time. Estimate: Approx. $6 million to $8.1 million Number build: Nine Engine: 2.0-liter Colombo V-12 Output: 108 hp Top Speed: 105 mph Debuted in 1947, French marque Talbot-Lago's short-wheelbase T26 Grand Sport was, for a fleeting span, the fastest production car on the planet. Only 32 chassis of the model were made, each mated to a six-cylinder power plant. Chassis No. 110102 was one of two dressed by coachbuilder Dubos Frères, and the only one still with us. An award-winner at the 1949 Concours d'Élégance du Bois de Boulogne, it was later bought and raced in period by sports-car dealer Otto Zipper before moving on to multiple owners and receiving a frame-off restoration in 1997. 'Dubos isn't Figoni & Falaschi, the most flamboyant and sought-after coachbuilder to body these cars, but it's a lot (literally) of car to get you on the lawn at the world's top-flight concours events,' says Kidston. Regarding the dashboard alone, he refers to it as 'Gallic eccentricity at its stylish best.' Estimate: Approx. $1.3 million to $1.6 million Number build: 32 Engine: 4.5-liter, six-cylinder twin cam Output: 190 hp Top Speed: 120+ mph Carrying on the legacy of Ford's GT40 race car, storied for its milestone podium sweep over Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966, the Blue Oval marque reimagined the model as the first-generation Ford GT in 2004. A second generation was revealed 11 years later, then fittingly introduced as an entry in the 2016 edition of Le Mans, taking first and third in the LMGTE Pro class. Production of the street-legal iteration yielded 1,350 examples, and the one set to cross the auction block through Broad Arrow—consigned by the original owner—was specified for Italy and is pristine, with only 33 miles on it (at the time of cataloging). 'Another area Broad Arrow are making their own: modern hypercars,' says Kidston. 'This one has great colors and virtually negative mileage, the ultimate trump card amongst owners… and the price is keen. Don't tell anybody, but I actually quite like it.' Estimate: Approx. $569,000 to $678,000 Number build: 1,350 Engine: Twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 Output: 660 hp Top Speed: 216 mph Motorsport ventured gloriously off the beaten path in the 1970s with the introduction of the World Rally Championship series. Citroën's factory team campaigned this ZX Rallye Raid car—Citroën Sport No. C05—through four seasons. Highlights of its career include a fourth-place finish at the 1990 Pharaohs Rally, third place at the same race the following year, and finishes in three consecutive variations of the famed Paris-Dakar Rally, where sixth place in 1991 was its best result. After being sequestered by Citroën for nearly two decades, the car was acquired privately in 2011 and given a ground-up restoration. It has since competed in the Goodwood Festival of Speed and been presented at the Salon Privé Concours d'Elegance. 'Definitely one for the video-game generation,' says Kidston. 'Broad Arrow are strong in this niche, and it'll be interesting to see if this flies on the auction podium as it once did on gravel.' Estimate: Approx. $515,000 to $569,000 Number build: Believed to be 29 Engine: Turbocharged inline four Output: 320 hp Top Speed: 127 mph Rivaling the open-top Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in beauty if not brawn, BMW's 507 Series II Roadster is far more difficult to find, as only 252 were built from 1955 though 1959. Due to its ethereal styling (from prolific designer Albrecht Graf Goertz) manifested in hand-formed aluminum, the car was coveted—and acquired—by the glitterati of the day, including Elvis Presley, Ursula Andress, and the King of Belgium. Chassis No. 70127 was under the attentive stewardship of the same family for 46 years and has had just two owners since. Considered BMW's 'ultimate model,' by Kidston, he points out that it 'almost bankrupt the company as it went so far over budget.' As for the drive experience, it 'feels and sounds like a Riva speedboat behind the wheel, the ultimate 'Deutsche Vita' cruiser,' he says, further opining that 'adding non-original wheels is a small black mark, but one of the iconic models any collector would like to own.' Estimate: $2.1 million to $2.5 million Number build: 252 Engine: 3.2-liter overhead-valve V-8 Output: 148 hp Top Speed: 127 mph

1938 Alfa Romeo 8C and 1967 Lotus 49 Honored at Amelia Concours
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A stunning 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 and a groundbreaking 1967 Lotus 49 Formula 1 racer took top honors at the 30th annual Amelia Concours d'Elegance, capturing Best of Show awards among more than 240 distinguished vehicles. The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900, chassis number 412028, was awarded Best of Show in the Concours d'Elegance category. Originally commissioned by Italian racing legend Giuseppe Farina, the vehicle is believed to have been a prototype entry for the prestigious 1938 Mille Miglia. The Alfa features unique specifications distinguishing it from other Sport 8C models, notably a shorter chassis and a distinctive exhaust design. Owner Deborah Keller expressed emotional gratitude following the win, reflecting on her late husband's passion for the event and their shared automotive enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the Best of Show Concours de Sport honor was awarded to the Lotus 49, chassis number 49/2, famous for introducing the Cosworth DFV engine to Formula 1. Driven to victory by racing legends Jimmy Clark, Jackie Oliver, Jo Siffert, and later piloted by Mario Andretti, this specific Lotus has a distinguished race pedigree, including triumphs at Silverstone and Watkins Glen. Owner Chris MacAllister attributed his lifelong passion for racing to watching Clark's triumph at Indianapolis, noting the significance of his Lotus in automotive history. This year's event at The Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island drew an impressive attendance of 17,000 guests, raising $119,000 for local charities and showcasing more than a century of automotive history. Special appearances included four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Hélio Castroneves and actor-turned-racer Patrick Dempsey. McKeel Hagerty, chairman of The Amelia, celebrated the enduring enthusiasm for exceptional automobiles and acknowledged the community's support in making the annual gathering a continued success.

The Amelia's 30th Annual Celebration Saw a Weekend of Fine Dining, Driving Experiences, Live Auctions, and the Amelia Concours D'Elegance—Showcasing Hundreds of Exquisite Vehicles from Around the World AMELIA ISLAND, Fla., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Among a distinguished field of more than 240 historically significant automobiles, spanning 35 classes, a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 claimed the prestigious title of Best of Show, Concours d'Elegance, while a 1967 Lotus 49 was honored as Best of Show, Concours de Sport at the 30th Amelia Concours d'Elegance. Event press releases, concours results, photos and the event program can be found here. Best of Show – Concours d'Elegance: The 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Chassis No. 412028 is believed to be one of the prototypes for the 1938 Mille Miglia. When it was restored, it was found that the car was an original short chassis model, and the engine had different characteristics than that of the Sport 8C 2.9, including a larger and different exhaust system. The car was ordered new in 1938 by the famous Italian racing champion Giuseppe Farina. It is the only 8C 2900 bodied by Farina. "My husband and I won an award here together in 2020. He passed away a year ago and he would be proud to have this car win," said Deborah Keller, owner of the winning Alfa Romeo. "It was in the stars today. It took a lot of work to get it here in time. I'm thrilled." Best of Show – Concours de Sport: The 1967 Lotus 49 Chassis No. 49/2 is the second Lotus 49 built. It was debuted by the legendary Jimmy Clark at Zandvoort in 1967, marking the first appearance of the Cosworth DFV engine. In addition to winning at Silverstone & Watkins Glen, it was the winner of four Tasman races from 1967-1968 while being driven in 1968 by Jackie Oliver and Jo Siffert. It was raced by Mario Andretti in South Africa in 1969 and sold to Pete Lovely by Lotus' Colin Chapman in 1969. Lovely then raced the car in multiple grand prix races from 1969-1971. The car was restored by Classic Team Lotus in 2010. "Our 4th grade elementary class went to the Indianapolis Motor Speed Way for a field trip. I thought it was pretty cool so I went to the race that year and saw Jimmy Clark win. That's what lit the fuse," said owner of the winning Lotus, Chris MacAllister. "It's nice that the car gets the attention it deserves. It really is an important car in Formula 1 history." "For 30 years, The Amelia has shown enthusiasts that while automotive design and competition are always evolving, the enthusiasm for special cars remains steadfast – especially the very best of the best," said McKeel Hagerty, Hagerty CEO, Board Chairman and Chairman of The Amelia. "More than 100 years of classics were present this weekend as thousands of people gathered on the show fields to honor automotive history and celebrate car culture. My heartfelt thanks go to our guests, spectators, volunteers and everyone else who helps make this celebration one of the greatest annual events for car lovers, young and old." The weekend celebration of automotive excellence welcomed thousands of passionate auto enthusiasts to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island in Florida. This year's event paid tribute to racing icon and four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Hélio Castroneves, who showcased a collection of historically significant race cars.

Broad Arrow Auctions Broad Arrow Auctions saw great success with its third annual Amelia Auction—the official auction of The Amelia — on March 7-8. The auction achieved $61.7 million in total sales, with 88 percent of all lots sold. A well-attended preview in the ballroom and on the ocean-front lawn of the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island translated to standing-room-only across both auction days. The energy was palpable throughout the sale, with Lydia Fenet, Broad Arrow's Principal Auctioneer, moderating spirited bidding battles on Friday and Saturday. Bidder registration was the highest for any Broad Arrow auction to date. The top sale of the weekend was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione, chassis number 1451 GT, which achieved a final price of $9,465,000. "We're thrilled with the results from our third Amelia Auction," said Barney Ruprecht, Senior Car Specialist and Vice-President of Auctions for Broad Arrow following the sale. "We presented a high-quality offering that saw frequent bidding competitions between bidders both in the room and over the phones and internet throughout the two days and across all categories of the market. The California Spider becomes the most valuable car Broad Arrow has ever sold, and the Miura is—significantly—the second most valuable example of the model ever sold at auction. We also saw the continued strength of the Porsche market with the sale of the 918 Spyder and numerous strong individual prices for exceptional 911s as we head into our Porsche Air|Water Auction next month in California."

Italian Blue-Chip Collectibles Are About to Cross The Auction Block
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Everyone loves an Italian sports car, but it takes a keen eye to know the really special ones. For its 15th year, a host of said smart collectors will make the trek to Florida to suss out some amazing finds surrounding the Concours d'Elegance at Amelia Island the first week of March. This year is no different – and it's shaping up to be an exciting week of finds. With this in mind, we sourced some unmissable highlights from Gooding Christie's, who consistently brings their A game when it comes to sourcing Italian classics. You can scroll through their online catalogue here or register to bid if anything strikes a chord. We're not leaving all the good stuff until the end, so you have to pay special attention to these first two cars. The first is the 1968 Lamborghini Miura S (Estimate: $2,500,000 - $3,000,000). The ultimate classic Miura, this car boasts remarkably low mileage with just over 7,800 km when catalogued. Miuras are most famous for their super stylish bodywork and a transversely mounted quadcam V-12. This particular example is no exception. But on top of the matching-numbers engine and body panels per factory records, it also has a crazy provenance – it was owned for 39 years by Giulio Vignale, the nephew of the famous coachbuilder of the same family name. The second car you absolutely cannot miss is the 1963 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series II Coupe Aerodinamico (Estimate: $2,500,000 - $3,000,000). This might be the most exotic and exclusive coachbuilt Ferrari of the early 1960s. It's a long-wheelbase Series II with covered headlights, which is music to your ears if you're a Ferrari-lover. The stunning coachwork and 3,967 cc tipo 163 SOHC 60° V-12 engine made it special when it was first displayed by Luigi Chinetti Motors at the 1963 New York International Auto Show, and it remains outstanding today. It comes with its Marcel Massini report, build sheets, restoration records, and fitted luggage. But of course, there are tons of other super special cars. The 1953 Siata 208 CS Coupe (Estimate: $1,500,000 - $2,000,000) is a truly unique example of the legendary 8V-powered 208 CS. It was actually displayed at the 1953 Paris Salon de l'Automobile and 1954 Geneva Motor Show. The all-alloy V-8 engine makes it ideal for touring just about anywhere, and it's been restored to concours quality for that exact reason! Another spectacular and rare Ferrari: the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS (Estimate: $1,750,000 - $2,250,000). There were only 99 examples built of this open Pininfarina body – this particular one was originally delivered to Naples, Italy with a known provenance from new. It's a true California garage find, and was retained by one owner for 55 years. It essentially has the Ferrari history you'd dream of. It's never before been restored, exhibited or offered at public auction and has its matching-numbers engine. So we'd say it's a pretty epic find. Oh, and we can't forget the 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT (Estimate: $1,750,000 - $2,250,000) from The Ken Roath Collection. With coachwork by Pinin Farina, this beautiful Ferrari was raced in period by Olivier Gendebien, Jacques Swaters, and Léon Dernier and has a well-documented provenance, with just three private owners since 1975. It underwent a complete restoration, after which it was certified by Ferrari Classiche. It's a four-time participant in the 1000 Miglia and is an all-around thoroughbred. If Ferraris aren't your thing, you can still find all the Italian greats at Gooding Christie's, such as the 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ (Estimate: $1,300,000 - $1,600,000), 1954 Fiat 8V Berlinetta (Estimate: $1,000,000 - $1,400,000), 1972 Maserati Ghibli 4.9 SS Spider (Estimate: $900,000 - $1,100,000), 1949 Cisitalia 202 SC Cabriolet (Estimate: $500,000 - $700,000) and 1984 Lamborghini Countach 5000S (Estimate: $575,000 - $650,000 | Without Reserve). All amazing touring cars, the 1949 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet (Estimate: $500,000 - $700,000) was already pre-accepted for the 2026 1000 Miglia! These gorgeous Italian cars are bound to get lots of attention at the Amelia Island Auctions on March 6th and 7th. In the meantime, you can learn more through the Gooding Christie's online catalogue, register to bid on your phone or computer, and get your driving gloves and sunglasses ready.
